<< review queue entry 86624 - submitted by 'yuebei2' >> Typo: see if -> see it Additionally, I'm not sure whether the sense/gloss separation is proper. It uses a dot to separate the first two definitions instead of a semicolon. In my opinion, the following looks more correct. /to believe what one sees, not what one hears (idiom); Don't believe what people tell you until you see it for yourself./It ain't necessarily so./ ------------------ Editor: Thanks. Indeed there are various issues with that definition. 耳听为虚，眼见为实 appears to be the more common form. It's currently defined as /(idiom) what one hears may be unreliable, but what one sees is true; seeing is believing/ |
